I like NH > VT, but both would work. Bigger key is escaping the NE springs and early summers and getting to heat and sun with storms and canes . Who knows how the climate will change over the next 20 years, but as of now that’s my dream retired life 

Yeah the politics between VT and NH can make that decision for some, and VT will tax you to death in retirement.  

Winter will be winter and moving anywhere in the mountains of VT/NH/ME will bring more winter than CT.  Though I bet what you guys would notice most is the more consistent snows, not storm size as SNE is pretty damn good for individual storms...you probably have just as good a chance of 18"+ events in Tolland as you would have up in NNE.  The real big difference is the more frequent light to moderate events, as well as more events in the bookends of the winter (like Nov or Apr) and more wintry appeal for longer periods of time throughout the winter.

The last two weeks have had 9 days that objectively should be rated in the top 10 - 

what's the f'n problem 

I suppose what it really boils down to is people.  Everyone in here ( most likely ..) is highly responsive to some varying forms of S.A.D. relative to their personal preference - they let sensible weather get to them if it ain't jivin' with the way they wanna role. Guess I'm preachin' to the quire -

But I haven't personally experienced anything that out of the ordinary this spring.   I could objectively and empirically say we had near or at historic cloud contamination days in May but ... heh, for me, that's almost hitting par in this anus geography on Earth that is spring.  Sunny in April and May?  Get f'n real - how long have y'all lived here.   wow. 

I dunno... but if it's 81 and sun, at 49 DP like yesterday and then rains the next day, then goes back to 81/51 or whatever ... that's perfect ratio of watering verdant landscape then bathing it with needed sun...  

If you want' 90+ weather here... you're expecations are not sound.  You may get it.. sure.  But, no one sane on the planet that has existential wisdom about New England has the temperature 90 F leap to mind.

I don't trust that Euro... 

Yeah...it's liable to turn warmer here at some point or the other ...over the next month but the models et al have been demonstrating marked continuity issues. 

The GEFs teleconnectors have been shifting warm and cold about every three or four days, and the operational version ( GFS ) is always got a complexion opposite compared to whatever they are showing to murk it up even more ... making the entire American cluster almost unusable in my estimation. 

Meanwhile, the Euro is diving  a -2 SD vortex into the GB and refusing to raise eastern N/A heights ... Like, how is that possible ...  enough already... It's like we're in summer suffering from spring time model instability - 

I guess in some sense it's more progressive with the lower Maritime vortex finally ... so that's sort of physically more appealing ... but it's still not enough and now it has a 582 dm ridge N over Greenland so it's moving the vortex out now that it has the block that should anchor it - everything's opposite.

I love this weather, maybe a bit higher on the mins for garden growing reasons. I think I ran the a/c 2 times so far and probably didnt need to anyway....rainfall has been enough to keep the garden happy, windows open for fresh air...whats not to love?

My ass isn’t sweating enough virtually as I stuff myself next to an AC unit physically...apparently.

My a/c has been on and running for months.  I pretty much never open up any windows. No thanks on letting all that pollen and dust inside. With a airtight home and a good hvac unit and filter system the air inside is vastly better quality then outside. 

Indoor climate control is pretty advanced now. My unit has humidty control settings, uv light filter, multiple stage heat pump/cooling.  It is crazy energy efficient. 

In the winter it has been nothing short of amazing with keeping the indoor humidity around 40-50 percent. I dont think many realize how bad it is for you in the winter when your indoor humidity is like 10 percent.

Is it really typical though?  I have no stats to back this, but to go through the end of June with no even transient heat seems strange.  ORH has had 1 +10 day, May 20, since mid April.  

Seems odd. Most years feature one or two “hot” spells before July

Reading comprehension in here sometimes, I posted we step up to typical...

Beautiful day.  Mid-upper 70s.  

76/54 right now.

BTV near 80F with dews low 50s... how you draw it up in June.

Yup. 70s with comfy dews in the 50s and sun kissing the nape. More suits and ties this weekend albeit a little warmer.

hot 18z GFS at 500 mb from D7 way  on out there

yeah so the GFSX MOS was pumpin' 86 to 91 highs from Sunday through the middle of next week.  That's some 6 to 11 over climo for D4+

Not bad... maybe the Euro has legs?  time will tell...

Whatevs.      

The gist of my post is that this spring has been atypical.  If it leads via step up to a typical summer (which seems likely) it will be in an unusual manner. 

Hope the rest of the day found you to be less cranky

Last year our 2 window units just couldn't keep the house cool.  I hate heat and humidity.  Home Depot and Lowe's sold out of AC's as those 70F dews stuck around through Sept.  So this year I was smart  (or not).  I bought a 3rd 10,000 BTU in mid May.  It's still in the box out in the barn.  30 day return period has passed.  I have not hit 80F yet.  That AC might wait till 2020 at this rate

 

Just don’t get a portable (wheeler type). Very inefficient

This. Those portable ac's depressurize your house and suck warm humid air in from every crack as they exhaust air out the window. I read studys that a 12k btu portable literally only delivers like a fraction of that. Something like 4k btu.
